    Anyone have any recommendations for pest control in Dublin?

    Have a problem with furry visitors so am curious to know if anyone has had any success with exterminators before!

    I assume you mean you have rats or mice? If its mice just get traps from a hardware(cheaper and logical opinion). However with rats the proper traps are expensive and a pest control company might be worthwhile.

    TBH its very early for rodents in Dublin. They generally only appear after the first frost when the heating goes on. Any hole the diameter of bic will allow them to get in. Block you any holes around pipes

    Rentokil were very professional and effective at ridding me of an ant problem. I'd say they're just as good at larger creatures too.

    Rub a cloth around its 'nether regions' & leave the cloth where you think that they are entering the house or nesting. The scent will frighten them off.

    Ecolab are a good company if you have other animals around. A mate who works for the gassed an army of ants in my old kitchen without harming my birds.

    I am catching mice at the rate of one a night in my room, and we have a little friend who does a round of the sitting room every night. I've named him. Our house is falling down around our ears though, we'd never keep them out. Snap traps are effective, once you get over the ickiness of taking the dead mouse out of the trap. Three dogs in situ, and my mother had to adopt my old cat off me last time I moved, a cat isn't an option.

    They say they will run cameras through drains etc, you have to pay in advance and then they say the cameras were not necessary, when it insisted, they want to charge me again.

    Please do not sign up just to badmouth a company and please do not bump up old threads.
